Optimal Dividends and ALM under Unhedgeable Risk
In this paper we develop a framework for optimal investment decisions for insurance companies under unhedgeable risk. The perspective that we choose is from an insurance company that tries to maximise the stream of dividends paid to its shareholders. The policy instruments that the company has are the dividend policy and the investment policy. The insurance company can continue to pay dividends...
متن کاملOptimal dividends in the dual model under transaction costs
We analyze the optimal dividend payment problem in the dual model under constant transaction costs. We show, for a general spectrally positive Lévy process, an optimal strategy is given by a (c1, c2)-policy that brings the surplus process down to c1 whenever it reaches or exceeds c2 for some 0 ≤ c1 < c2. The value function is succinctly expressed in terms of the scale function. A series of nume...
متن کاملRisk, Return and Dividends∗
We characterize the joint dynamics of expected returns, stochastic volatility, and prices. In particular, with a given dividend process, one of the processes of the expected return, the stock volatility, or the price-dividend ratio fully determines the other two. For example, the stock volatility determines the expected return and the price-dividend ratio. By parameterizing one, or more, of exp...
متن کاملUtility Maximization under Solvency Constraints and Unhedgeable Risks
We consider the utility maximization problem for an investor who faces a solvency or risk constraint in addition to a budget constraint. The investor wishes to maximize her expected utility from terminal wealth subject to a bound on her expected solvency at maturity. We measure solvency using a solvency function applied to the terminal wealth. The motivation for our analysis is an optimal inves...
متن کاملOptimal stopping and American options with discrete dividends and exogenous risk
In this paper we analyze some problems arising in the evaluation of American options when the underlying security pays discrete dividends. To this aim, we study the problem of maximizing the expected gain process over stopping times taking values in the union of disjoint, real compact sets. The results we obtain can be applied to evaluate options with restrictions on exercise periods, but are a...
